depending on what you want to use it for (like everyone is asking)

for touring and mild offroad - 80 series for the comfort

for serious offroad work - GQ for the tough drivetrain

Go to ebay, buy a rebuild kit and install it. Unless your turbine shaft is rooted that'll get you back up and running. A T28 is too big for a 2.8. Don't get it "high flowed", that's only for ricers and won't help a diesel. hey kiwibacon, i'm curious, from my knowledge a hi-flow turbo will increase ...

the z9 goes straight on my brothers 80s but my 100s has a different one as stated above.
i haven't tried to fit a z9 to mine as its hard enough to get that little bastard out of there as it is.

oil capacity is 7.2 litres with filter.

get a price on getting you old one rebuilt and hi-flowed. this will give you boost earlier and not lose any top end if yours is rebuildable. used to cost around a 1000 bucks when i was toying with turbo rotories.
you don't have to worry about different manifolds or pipework or anything.

i always ran 32 in my lux front and back when i had no load on., always had good wear and ride over 10 years of owning them. luxs tend to be stiff enough in the rear without running around on 40 psi. off road is a different story which i'm not entering into but i'm confident you will have no probs ...

well i'm not a gy 2.8 owner but i'm not bagging them either. i test drove a couple before buying my 100 series petrol. it was only the horsepower that put me off them. like the other blokes said on here they seem to be reliable. I haven't heard anything bad about them. i would buy one over a 3.0 any ...

http://www.bepmarine.com/showproduct.cfm?productid=12

i agree, just buy a VSR (voltage sensitive relay) . lot less unnecessary crap involved.

you can buy them at most automotive shops for 250-300 bucks from memory with all the wiring needed, may have to extend the main cable to your battery if it doesn't reach you tray.
